Introduction

This page intended audience is all users of Energy Data Service that wants to dig a little deeper than just downloading data through the GUI.

Energy Data Service exposes an API interface that can be used in a number of contexts, e.g. from Python, from Visual Basic for Application or many other programming tools. Some working knowledge of SQL and general programming skills are required.
This is not a tutorial about using an API but is a list of the specifics of the API exposed by Energy Data Service which is relevant to know when using the API service.

One thing to notice here is that some characters are being interpreted when the URL is being parsed by the browser. Plus (+) - is one of them. This is fixed by replacing + with %2B like this
%2B INTERVAL '6 hours'
